The Recompense.

When a student who has been brought up within
the rather narrow confines of a small college is sudden-
ly turned loose in a big university with all its advan-
tages and possibilities opened up to him, there is an in-
evitable question which at once presents itself. Not
definitely, in exact words, perhaps, but the trend is
something like this: "What has the small college to
offer in comparison to all this? Do the young people
get a 'square deal* who are encouraged to cast their
lot with the small institution? Do they really get what
they go for, or is there money taken under false pre-
tense? Is their time of preparation as profitably occu-
pied as it would be in the school whose students are
counted by the thousands?"

On the first thought, while the student will hardly
admit it even to himself, it seems that the question
almost answers itself in favor of the university. There
is so much here as compared to the so little, from
whence he came! Frankly, this is but a brief allusion
to the writer's own experience, hence he will use the
personal pronoun.

Weeks and some months have passed, during which
I have been observing a few things. During this time
I have gotten, in athletic parlance, my second wind.
The advantages which I first noted are still in evidence,
but with them are to be seen just as clearly some dis-

2

THE CRESCENT

advantages which clearly point out and spell the word
"recompense" for the student in the small college.

Now I'm not attempting an ambitious treatment of
the subject at all. I'm not going to attempt it from
the muchly taken point of view of 4 'Christianity and
Culture," though a very proper one it is. Neither will
I wax eloquent on the returns from the close com-
munion with the personality of the insti ctor— for I
may want to teach again in Pacific College some of
these times. Those are my "nots" and my "don'ts."
What I do intend to do is merely to recall briefly what
have seemed to me to be some of the vital interests of
the average student; the student which is neither
brilliant on the one hand nor hopelessly dull on the
other— he who has anywhere from one to four talents,
but who is just as anxious to put them to the best use
as is the fellow who has five.

Here is the first thing which impressed me. In a
student body of 3000 young people, the college activi-
ties are in the hands of a very small minority. It can't
be otherwise. In every department there are a few
students especially brilliant, who stand in the lime-
light. They represent the university. They make up
the debating societies, the literary clubs and various
similar organizations. In athletics, only those of spe-
cial ability can be considered as really counting. There
are honor societies for the blue ribbon students, and
fraternities for the socially gifted and popular, but
what is there for the common, every day, plodding
student? Echo answers, "What?"

He can work hard, it is true, and gets a good edu-
cation, if education consists wholly in hearing lectures
and reading books. This is about all there is to it for
the great mass of students. For them there is none of

THE CRESCENT

3

that student life and activity which consists in being in
the midst of things, and which makes the retrospect of
college days so pleasant. They board somewhere in
town, go up to the university to their lectures, and
straightway return to their rooms. They probably do
not get acquainted with their next neighbors in class.
They are in the university and get out of it.

Turn for contrast to the small college. It takes
practically all the students to "man" the various
activities. "There's a work for me and a work for
you," and all we who have in anyway participated in
this work which is apart from the class room, know
that it is in itself a practical education which cannot be
supplied by text book. In the university the accom-
plished and aggressive students make up the member-
ship of the societies of a literary nature, to the practi-
cal exclusion of many who need the training most. In
the small school there is a place for the average stu-
dent, probably a little backward and all the more in
need of the work, who is given just the encouragement
he needs to get him started in the direction of culti-
vating ability which does not first offer. Beginning by
tremulously seconding a motion to adjourn in the old
literary society, he becomes a member of the college
debating team.

A great deal more could be said of the much great-
er chance which the boy or girl in the small institution
has of becoming an efficient, all round college man or
woman. I have in mind as I write young men and
women, who in a large university would never have
been noticed. On the other hand, in the college, their
abilities, moderate to begin with, have been recognized,
they have been chosen to positions of responsibility, in
which their talents were developed, and often times in

4

THE CRESCENT

inter-collegiate relations they have won honors and
standing which would never have been theirs in the

large institution.

Much is usually said of the learned professors
which grace university faculty chairs. Generally a
man of some renoun is at the head of the department,
but often has under him some men of very ordinary
ability. And often, even with the ability, they reel off
their lectures in a monotonous, hum drum manner, in-
dicating how thoroughly a business proposition it is
with them. Scholarship in a professor is certainly to
be desired, but without its compliment of enthusiasm
it is dry bones to the student and just about as
nourishing.

As a rule it is a cold blooded proposition too. iiy
which I mean that when the student gets behind and a
little discouraged with his work, he is ruthlessly
4 'cinched out," as the phrase is here. This is a beau-
tiful exemplification of the practical working of the
law of the survival of the fittest. However a little at-
tention and sympathy which can be shown in the
smaller institutions often helps to make a worthy stu-
dent thoroughly fit to survive. • , ' - A u

Three days in the week at eleven o'clock in the
morning the trumpeter gives the call for "military
duty" to which all the lower classmen are subject.
Now there is a good deal of romance connected with
blue uniforms, swords and brass buttons, but when day
after day the awkward Freshmen are put laboriously
through their steps, shouldering arms and perfuncto-
rily trying to assume a militant demeanor, marching
hither and thither on a hot day at the beck and call of
an upper classman martinet, it is easy to see that the
poetry becomes prose. But this is what the young f el-

THE CRESCENT

low is up against when he enters this university at
least, and as with mingled emotions of amusement and
repugnance, I have at different times watched the tire-
some, tedious, serious drill of this student soldiery, I
have tried to imagine some of my old college chums and
myself valiantly and sweet-spiritedly throwing our-
selves upon our country's altar by submitting to being
put through these brave military paces three hours per
week!

In a university such as this there is not that unity
of action and feeling which makes for that indescrib-
able something which is called college loyalty and col-
lege spirit. True, when the big game comes off and on
similar occasions there is a great desire to see Califor-
nia win, but college spirit is more than this. Without
the bonds to draw students close together in every
day student life, there cannot be that intense loyalty to
an institution which is not only indispensible to the
best interests of the school itself, but also a priceless
heritage to those who learn to know what real college
loyalty is. I see hundreds of students here who don't
know and never will know what the term means. And
how can they? To them college is nothing but attend-
ing lectures and taking examinations. They have no
part in its many activities, literary and social. They
seldom attend the public university functions. They
are never made to feel that their college needs them as
they do it. In short, they don't count, except on the
university register. To be sure there are some such
students in the small college, more's the pity. But in
the latter case, the fault lies wholly with the student,
and not with the hard circumstances in which he finds
himself.

But enough for the present. These are a few of

in the rule book, the referee introduced some of his
own, but in spite of the fact that he had a man that
rarely missed from the foul line he was unable to keep
up with the home team and the half ended 18-10, mak-
ing the total score of 33 to 27 in our favor.

Mac put up a good, clean game, and the men on
the team deserve credit for their sportsmanlike con-
duct and should they decide to play under men's rules,
they would undoubtedly develope into a winning team.

Conscience, what art thou? thou tremendous power!

Who dost inhabit us without our leave;

And art within ourselves, another self,

A master-self, that loves to domineer,

And treat the monarch frankly as the slave;

How dost thou light a torch to distant deeds?

Make the past, present, and the future frown?

How, ever and anon, awake the soul,

As with a peal of thunder, to strange horrors,

In this long restless dream, which idiots hug,

Nay, wise men flatter with the name of life.

to Pacific College. One is the choosing of the college
orator and the other is selecting the debate team. The
orator is to be selected from the six orators in-
cluded in the local contest, while the debate work is
open to all members of both the preparatory and col-
lege departments. The training in literary societies is
not enough and one of the greatest accomplishments
secured in college is the ability to express one's self
with ease and power. Valuable training is offered
along this line in debate. It is a privilege that the stu-
dents possess and we hope that many will turn out to
uphold last year's debate record. Now is a good time
to begin reading on the subject and if anyone asks you
during the Christmas holidays if you are going to
debate," answer "yes"

Locals.

Some of the students from the vicinity of Sher-
wood seem to have difficulty in finding Newberg and
have spent the day in different stations along the line.

The anniversary of the birth of Whittier the Quaker
poet was fittingly observed in chapel. Prof. Jones
read a brief biography of the great bard and Miss
Andrews and Miss Lewis read some of his poems.

The girls of the Y. W. C. A. recently held a candy
and pennant sale from which they netted a snug sum
for the support of their work.

t Mrs. O. K. Edwards recently sang several selec-
tions in chapel and chose her selections from some
typical American music. Mrs. Edwards was formerly
musical director of the college and her visit was much
appreciated by the students.

Alumni Notes.

Hervey M. Hoskins, '99, has been given the ap-
pointment of postmaster at McMinnville. While this
appointment is one of honor and good salary, yet it is
only a recognition of merit, as Mr. Hoskins is a con-
scientious hard working young man. In addition to a
year spent m post graduate work at Pacific College, he
graduated from Haverford College in 1903. In the
estimation of his friends his appointment demonstrates
the truth that thorough scholarship and preparation
will wm.

Miss Lenora Parker, '06, has been spending the
past two months visiting her friends and relatives in
Indiana. She reports a most excellent time. Know-
ing her sunny disposition it goes without saying that
those with whom she has associated back in the Hoos-
ler state have enjoyed her visit as much as she

The many friends of Harley S. Britt, >97, are glad
to see him about Newberg again for a short stay
Since completing a course in civil engineering at the
University of California, he is steadily pushing to the
front in his chosen prof ession. He is spending the month
of December at home, thus enjoying a well earned
vacation. During the past eighteen months Mr. Britt
has been working with the Allis-Chalmers Construction
Company of Milwaukee, Wis. He is filling the respon-
sible position of erecting engineer.

Miss Clara Vaughan and Jessie* Britt, both of the
class of 99, write from Lexington, Oregon that they
are enjoying their work. The former is engaged as
teacher in the public school of that place, while the
latter is teaching music and physical culture, dividing
her time between Lexington and Heppner, making

regular trips by stage between the two places, and as

docile, each trip is interesting and full of adventure.
It is not wonderful that Miss Britt enjoys such diver-
sion J is pleased with the surroundings as she a ways
tested a weakness for "The call of the Wild."

Rollin W. Kirk, '98, enjoys the distinction of being
principal of the Newberg public and High School, the
togest school in Yamhill county. This makes his
seventh year in the same position and under his effi-
SU>t the school has developed in every
line to such an extent that it is second to none in Ore-
gon Outside of Portland, either in respect to the high
School or to the grades, hence it reflects great credit to
Mr Kirk who has raised it to the present high standing.

Miss Bertha Cox, '00, in addition to being employed
bv California Yearly Meeting as missionary in Alaska,
also fills a government appointment as teacher in that
field Very good reports of her work are received.

Walter C. Woodward, '98, is pursuing work this
year in the University of California. A recent number
of the Daily Calif ornian, the university paper, contains
a very complimentary writeup of the assistance he
save the winning team of the Freshmen-Sophomore de-
bate Knowing his affinity for that kind of work, we
are not surprised that Walter got busy when there was

that he should make good. Miss Bernice Woodward 06
